A Collaborative Journey
Navigating Divorce
As your attorneys, we champion a collaborative approach that prioritizes understanding and cooperation over conflict. This method often leads to more positive outcomes for everyone involved. However, while our aim is to facilitate collaboration, we stand ready to litigate when circumstances demand a more assertive stance. Choosing a collaborative approach to divorce means opting for a more amicable and cost-effective solution. This approach addresses every aspect of the divorce process, from property division to child custody, all while prioritizing your best interests. Together, we’ll craft a tailored agreement covering a spectrum of concerns, ensuring your rights and those of your family are safeguarded.
Navigating a divorce can be emotionally challenging.

The length of the divorce process varies depending on the complexity of the case and the level of cooperation between the spouses. There is a mandatory waiting period of six months from the date the respondent is served with divorce papers before a divorce can be finalized in California. However, parties can resolve the entirety of their case before the six-month time period, but you will not be returned to the status of single before then.

California is a community property state, meaning that all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally between the spouses. Separate property, which includes assets and debts acquired before the marriage, inheritances, and gifts, remains the separate property of the spouse who acquired it.

In California, child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child’s age, health, emotional ties to both parents, the ability of each parent to care for the child, and the child’s wishes if they are of a sufficient age and maturity.

Spousal support, or alimony, is determined on a case-by-case basis, considering various factors such as the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, and the needs of each spouse. The goal of spousal support is to ensure that both parties can maintain a similar standard of living to what they experienced during the marriage.

"I had the good fortune of being one of Callan Olsen's clients recently. She was an absolute delight to work with, from the initial phone consult to the project coming to a successful conclusion. Callan listened patiently, communicated clearly, understood the nuance of what I hoped to achieve, and explained how the process would work, and how much it would cost. Callan was always highly responsive to me and to the other attorney involved. She was friendly, professional, and has a good sense of humor."

"My husband and I retained Jordan for separate matters and cases. We both enjoyed working with her and felt confident through the process. She was very communicative, compassionate, and timely. With her experience and knowledge on family law (specifically child support matters), she gave us the run down on possible outcomes and her professional advice on what is best for us. Her rates are very reasonable for the services and treatment she provided to us. We will definitely without a doubt use her again in the future!"
